tube friendly speaker rec

loooking for suggestions for tube friendly monitors.
using a prima luna dialogue one with quad 22L speakers, at moderate levels sound ok but seem to lose focus as they get louder which makes me think they are a little power hungry.
have around $2000 budget. tinking about triangle comete but afraid they may be too bright,while merlins are out of my price range.do not know if totem or dynaudio work well
with tubes and was wondering about the new GMA Eos.
any thoughts appreciated

are there sonic differences between the comete es and newer models? there seem to be good deals around on the es model is the ex worth the exta cost?
checked out reviews of the omega line. they appear to lean towards the bright side which concerns me a little. can anyone comment on the sound?

thanks for the responces so far. would also be wanting to take a step up (so to speak) from the quad 22L's i am using.
would the triangle comete,Reference 3A and Omega's be considered an upgrade?
how does the Comete es compare to the newer triangle models?
Merlins i know sound great but new is a little out of my price range

interested in the compact hemps but would rather not get involved witha subwoofer. how is the bass? any issues with brightness?
have narrowed it down to the omega or the gma eos but waiting for some feed back on the gma's
